Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Try to take control
Oh I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Oh we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Tryin' to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I try, but you see, it's hard to explain
I said the right things, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watched the TV, forget what I'm told
Well I am too young, and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
(Stop)
You're right, it's true
He said he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina (she says)
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I say the right things, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watched the TV, forget what I'm told
Well I am too young, and they are too old
I'll make it you see, I'm ever so pleased
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
(Stop)
I try, but you see, It's hard to explain
